What it controls: Specified sucking and chewing pests in the listed fruit, vegetable and cotton crops.
When to use it: Scout early in crop development and apply at the pest stage and threshold specified by the crop label.
What to include: Foliar spray; maintain coverage of the target canopy and follow crop-specific water and adjuvant instructions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌿Sucking-pest coverage: Selected sucking pests such as thrips, aphids and whiteflies are covered in their named crops.
-
🎯Chewing-pest coverage: The crop-specific spectrum also includes borers, caterpillars and certain beetles.
-
🌱Feeding disruption: Its effect on insect muscle function reduces feeding by susceptible pests.
-
🔬Translaminar movement: Movement through treated leaf tissue helps reach feeding sites on the other leaf surface.
-
🛡️Foliar OD formulation: The oil dispersion is specifically designed for leaf application, not an assumed root drench or seed treatment.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Benevia is a cyantraniliprole foliar insecticide with activity against specified sucking and chewing pests. Its Cyazypyr active ingredient disrupts insect muscle function.
-
Reach the feeding site: Apply as a foliar treatment with adequate crop coverage. Translaminar movement is movement through leaf tissue.
-
Disrupt muscle regulation: Cyantraniliprole modulates insect ryanodine receptors, disrupting normal muscle calcium regulation.
-
Reduce feeding and movement: Affected insects become less able to feed and move, progressing to paralysis and death.
Use the mode-of-action group, not the brand name alone, when planning resistance management. Avoid repeated reliance on the same group.

Approximate acre quantities use the labelled hectare rates. Pomegranate has two pest-specific product amounts; keep the correct target and dose together.
Apply early in infestation against newly hatched larvae or nymphs as appropriate. Prepare with labelled rates and use the spray solution within four hours.
The reviewed leaflet gives two successive foliar sprays at a 7–10-day interval. Do not exceed two successive applications per pest generation or three applications in a crop cycle; rotate to an effective non-Group 28 insecticide for the next generation.

How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Prepare and apply: Prepare with the labelled product amount and water volume. Use the mixture within four hours.
-
Timing and coverage: Apply early in infestation. Use high-volume spraying equipment and ensure thorough, uniform canopy coverage.
-
Follow the programme: The reviewed leaflet describes two successive sprays 7–10 days apart. Respect the maximum of two successive applications per pest generation and three per crop cycle.
-
Rotate action groups: Use an effective non-Group 28 insecticide for the next pest generation. Do not use the same group against consecutive generations.
-
Protect bees and water: The product is toxic to aquatic organisms and honeybees. Avoid aquaculture areas and active bee-foraging periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Benevia Insecticide?
Benevia is a cyantraniliprole foliar insecticide with activity against specified sucking and chewing pests. Its Cyazypyr active ingredient disrupts insect muscle function.
Which crops and targets does it cover?
The target table pairs each supported crop with its pests. A pest listed for one crop is not automatically included for another.
Does translaminar movement mean I can use it as a drench?
No. Benevia OD is described for foliar spray. Movement through a treated leaf does not authorize root-zone, irrigation or seed-treatment application.
Can the dose be copied from another formulation?
No. Match the exact formulation, crop, target and route. Product percentages, liquid volumes and granule weights cannot be substituted for one another.
What should be checked before application?
Check crop, pest, amount, water, harvest interval and spray sequence. The reviewed leaflet limits use to two successive applications per pest generation and three per crop cycle; a different Group 28 brand does not count as rotation.
Safety & Disclaimer
Read and follow the supplied product label and accompanying leaflet. Use only for the stated crop, target and application conditions, and observe the applicable dose, waiting periods and precautions.
